For my link archive:
- [Wayback/Archive] Help:How to get a Twitter user numeric ID – Wikidata
- [Wayback/Archive] “🧵 Some resources to get started: 🔎 Link to Advanced Twitter Search:
twitter.com/search-advanced 🔍 All known queries: github.com/igorbrigadir/twitter-advanced-search“
- [Wayback/Archive] “You can view the “who to follow” recommendations manually for other people, use
tweeterid.com to get the user ID, and this url: twitter.com/i/connect_people?user_id=123 eg, for me: twitter.com/i/connect_people?user_id=495430242 Useful for finding similar users!”
- [Wayback/Archive] “Like above, you can “turn off” a link, using a zero width space:
zerowidthspace.me copy paste it somewhere in the TLD (.com) to stop twitter from parsing it as a link, like this: https://example.com/?foo=bar Useful to show url parameters, or tweet banned links.”
- [Wayback/Archive] “Embedding / stealing other people’s media: Most reliable way is to use Tweetdeck, and “…” menu “Share via Email” and copy paste the t.co link you get at the very end, like so: https://t.co/7Lfah38nVy (You don’t have to download & upload but also means it could get deleted)”
- [Wayback/Archive] “To do the reverse, and get the original “embedded” video, if you see someone doing this (you can see the “From Reaction Videos” credit in there, which goes to the profile, not the tweet), use this bookmarklet:”

Almost 3 years ago, I wrote about some database/SQL fiddle sites in Database fiddle sites (which covers [Wayback/Archive] two different [Wayback/Archive] dbfiddle sites and the [Wayback/Archive] SQL Fiddle site).
In the meantime, I figured out that [Wayback/Archive] Toolbox for Developers has a few fiddle pages and database/SQL tools online (in their order, which is not alphabetical):

Since this question keeps popping up around me every now and then, despite JSON being around for like 25 years now, this statement from the original designer Douglas Crockford:
[Wayback/Archive] Douglas Crockford – Google+ – Comments in JSON …
I removed comments from JSON because I saw people were using them to hold parsing directives, a practice which would have destroyed interoperability. I know that the lack of comments makes some people sad, but it shouldn’t.
Suppose you are using JSON to keep configuration files, which you would like to annotate. Go ahead and insert all the comments you like. Then pipe it through JSMin before handing it to your JSON parser.
Yup, Google+ has been dead for more than 6 years now, so it is important to quote these insights for posterity to find them back.

Need to look into this further: [Wayback/Archive] Robust Links – Make Your Link Robust.
Likely running it on my blog requires JavaScript to be enabled which means going from the premium to the small business plan (at te time of writing from USD 8 to USD 25 per month: a 200+% increase).
Let’s first start with an example:

The manual process of getting back to the earliest commit of a GitHub repository is easy for small repositories, but for a large one it is very tedious.
TL;DR: there are various ways, but the easiest was the INIT Bookmarklet below.
Note: 2 weeks before the scheduled post made it to the front of the queue, I got a report¹ that it started to fail. Here it still works.
It’s hard to debug because of the functional programming approach taken.

Many web-sites and password managers have a strength indicator built-in.
This is a really good example (with open source JavaScript code!) of one: [Wayback/Archive] zxcvbn: Low-Budget Password Strength Estimation | USENIX
Be aware though that it stores a plain text file named passwords.txt on your system (this seems to confuse some users, especially when their password is in it).
Homans password behaviour does not change much over time, so this half hour 2016 presentation on it is still current: [Wayback/Archive] USENIX Security ’16 – zxcvbn: Low-Budget Password Strength Estimation – YouTube for which you can download:

Trying to trim down excessive CPU usage of my web browsers, and lessen the risk of intrusion, I experimented with globally disabling JavaScript and only enabling it on sites where it adds value to me.
That is possible (see below), but immediately showed a big side effect: Bookmarklets will not work on sites that have JavaScript disabled.
Disabling JavaScript globally only allows Bookmarklets on sites where you have enabled JavaScript. Not the situation I hoped for (:
I’ll try it for a while though.
